🚨 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 18. Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade. As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on 10/18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
his presser once he finally shows: youtu.be/J_2sCsipYM0?...
100%, I am wondering if there is anything more than "rich and powerful people have the time to wait it out by exploiting rules that serve a purpose in limited form" Guessing not :(
Could a lawyer explain to me, in layman's terms, a nuanced explanation for why Trump's last 4 years of trials/lawsuits/etc always have a great ruling that is then stayed until a higher court can rule against him but stay that until etc etc until his nazi SCOTUS gets the case?
it's reached the point where he's too transparently a melting corpse with dementia. To keep supporting all that is plainly wrong their mind requires him to be an impressive figure and while they was always a stretch, now it's impossible to square with the irl dude
we need you to use much stronger language. say dictator. say nazi. call for a general strike. call for a march on Washington.
anyone who identifies as a "lifelong conservative" is a deeply unserious human we can immediately write off
LET ME SEE THAT TONG (baby, that tong-ta-tong-tong-tong)
@barackobama.bsky.social @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You need to organize and call for a General Strike. There are no options left. This is a civil war.
I'm asking you to consider that this statesmanlike language is actually a problem. Call them nazis. Call him a dictator. Call for a general strike and trump's arrest. use the real words, Mr. President.
I don't like newsom but to say "just as dangerous" is maniacally delusional
A recent poll shows @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leading comfortably even if his opponents drop out to coalesce. In the same poll, voters list their top issues as cost of living, public safety, and housing affordability. Voters are starting to see socialism as the answer to their concerns.
shut the fuck up, nazi bot
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are in leadership. They would have to get on their knees and beg the AIPAC for permission to think about having a backbone.
Dragging that right leg again yesterday.
I have no doubt Jeffries faces racial hate unrelated to his competency. I assure those reading I hate him for being dogshit at his job and aiding in the rise of a fascist regime and genocide.
it's actually transitioned from frustrating to funny that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social doesn't seem to realize or care that we all realize he's a stooge for big money and that Zohran is the future of the party
Hakeem Jeffries hs failed so mightily and so fully. If I say so in any conversation on this website it is immediately dismissed as a purely white complaint that is somehow exclusively racial.
Here’s a fact: I would NEVER vote for someone because Hakeem Jeffries told me to. He has no sway with me at all. I would, however, consider voting for someone if Zohran Mamdani told me to. Because if he likes someone, that’s worth a look. I think Hakeem doesn’t fully grasp that shift.
It's time for the states to start withholding tax dollars to the federal government @governor.ca.gov @govmurphy.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov @massgovernor.bsky.social @govwesmoore.bsky.social @ltgovdennyheck.bsky.social medium.com/@carmitage/i...
This is civil war/secession level talk.
General strike or Blue state secession are the only responses left that and no one seems to be pushing for them
You voted to confirm Rubio. You voted to continue arming genocide in Gaza. What credibility can you possibly think you have on this issue?
Personally I think the Texas Dems are doing a pretty good job finessing a situation where they have very little formal power as best as they can. This is not the same thing as winning but winning is probably not on the table for them
No clue where you're getting that. It's quite the contrary. I've cut MAGA friends out for good and family hear from me about it constantly. No clue who I'm a stand in for in your mind right now, but have some standards for your senators and be well
Be well, and stay safe during this garbage fire.
if making it about me makes you feel better and superior, go for it. I think you should have standards for the politicians voting for unforgivable things in our names.
You want to personalize this and find the reason I'm the flawed white liberal that's the problem. I have plenty of problems and can and should strive to be better. One of my problems is not expecting @booker.senate.gov to be anti-fascist, vote against genocide, and stop confirming nazis.
I don't have MAGA friends. My MAGA family has heard loudly from me in every setting if they try to put forward maga bullshit and are mostly not in my life as a result. I'm replying to my Senator who works for me and is failing to represent me.
You having no standards for what our reps do in our names is a problem you can control entirely. The failures of the white electorate are not something either of us can control (though we can hope to have a small influence in our lives).
What do you want me to say about your second point? I'm a white voter who votes blue, organizes and joins groups that put forward the issues of POC. Because of deep seated racism I should not call out Cory Booker being complicit with nazis?
I'm excited for this Nazi to stand trial one day.
so because they don't have the majority he should confirm unqualified Nazi nominees? zero reason to let him off the hook for doing something indefensible
yep, born in Belleville, live in Passaic county now
Raise your standards for what your employee who represents you in the Senate should be doing during a nazi regime.
It's odd that you think there is no middle ground between "confirm a nazi's nominees" and political violence. How about denying unanimous consent? How about voting no on David Perdue and Charles Kushner and AIPAC's agenda? How about filibustering every bill and procedural fuckery?
Did you do that when you voted to confirm Trump's in-law, the felon charles Kushner? How about election denier David Perdue?
I keep seeing this logic. If Senators and Reps don't wanna throw their bodies in the gears of fascism then they don't belong in their seats. This is their job.
You promised to represent New Jersyeans. So far you've: confirmed election denier David Perdue confirmed trump in-law and felon Charles Kushner voted to legalize crypto bribes allowed unanimous consent for GOP bills done AIPAC's bidding to fun genocide.
*Martial Fascists live on perpetual and made up states of emergency.
Why did you spend 6 months confirming his nominees and being chummy with sitting members of the Nazi party.
It's a choice they have kept making to maintain a feeling of normalcy and bi-partisanship when they should all be acting like particpants in a cold civil war. Anything less is complicity.
that said, a lot of people who have SOME power are using none of it. Senate keeps granting unanimous consent. They could grind every nomination to a halt
Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Foreign dictators in the presidential limo. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Appointing drunk U.S. Attorneys. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Can't walk a straight line on the red carpet. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
The silence on Epstein is exactly what he wants. We have to keep asking about it. EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
I think we, as humans, tend to overestimate the ability for large scale things to "catch on" by design. I think it's as simple as he's the most public Dem now acting like we're in a cold civil war combined with a savvy social media bit. Just my opinion. Still hate his ditching of trans people
I'm not thrilled Newsome is emerging as a leader in all this. I have major issues with him. But I really think it's organic. People want this level of confrontational. This is not pro-Newsom. Just, it's not a psy-op cause I don't like it
Cis straight white suburban dude here. People constantly remind me thinks aren't encrypted/safe etc. That's the point. This is fucking America. Come and get me if you have a problem with it. Explain in court why I'm there. Have my wife and kids on the news if I disappear. We can't live in fear.
The one avoiding the main point is you. he won the Democratic primary. the minority leader's job is to fucking support him and not be a stooge for Israel
hey who won the NYC mayoral primary and is our party leader endorsing them?
he's doing a catastrophically dogshit job
he sucks at his job and is failing us at a national level. So is Schumer. Are they immune from criticism?
he's our employee and he's doing a dogshit job
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you are a colossal failure
I've called my two sentators weekly and told them I expect @schumer.senate.gov to be removed as minority leader. I appreciate Parnas getting the interview with a big name, but Schumer is a dead letter.
Send another angry "very strong" letter, @schumer.senate.gov . Step down for an actual leader.
Donald. Trump. Never. Plans. On. Leaving. Office. And. Is. Prepared. To. Use. The. U.S. Armed. Forces. To Use. Force. To. Prevent. That. From. Happening. If this is shocking....you have not been paying attention.
Every day we slide further into this, and our leader is @schumer.senate.gov a man whose stated goal is to keep the left pro genocide of gaza and nothing else
Remember when @schumer.senate.gov wrote an angry letter? Remember when he said he'd take steps if there was a consitutional crisis? Remember when he sat there as a nazi dictator poured hot soup down his fucking shirt and made him say thank you for the last 7 months? Schumer has to resign.
It is quite literally the only nonviolent option left to us.
@booker.senate.gov @repsherrill.bsky.social @andykimnj.bsky.social , @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social As my NJ reps and party leaders, I expect you to call for a General Srike in response to the martial law in DC. It's now or never.
If you're serious, call for a general strike. All you've done this presidency so far is confirm felon nominees and fund genocide.
Oh, childfree people don't have a predisposition towards crazy. As you say, any group is a mix of the lovely and the crazy. The reddit style childfree online poster though, they baffle me
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
grind the gears to an absolute halt. filibuster every single issue every single day. force them to arrest you repeatedly. Call for a general strike. at the bare minimum stop confirming his fucking nominees @booker.senate.gov
i get the idea, but they didn't backfire. they did what everyone except mango mussolini said they would
The child-free community online is truly batshit crazy with the shit they say
I'm involved with some local groups doing some stuff, but I would still like to know when the next large scale coordinated action is
When is the next widescale protest? I've seen September 1st, but it's not listed many places
They just moved it when it became public.
DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
Boycott DC Tourism. #thisisfascism
Military in the streets. child rapist in the sheets.
the word you're looking for is "lying"
I honestly think this is horrible messaging. there should be no if, we live in a nation where empty land is insanely overrepresented. we should be gerrymandering every single blue seat we can until the government is fixed and a fair system can be put in its place
too many are still struggling to understand that there is no point in having a dialogue with Republicans. anyone who votes with this or supports this is gone. they are Confederates and need to be treated. as such. we should be holding our real leaders to a higher standard so thank you for doing it
I think another reason is that GC everyone had and loved the same core games, in part because of Nintendo's failure with 3p PS2 could be a millions experiences for a million different kids
Actually, I'll go further. Clarence Thomas, Roberts and Alito at least must stand trial.
They need to put, at a minimum, Trump, Vance, Rubio, Johnson, Noem, Homan, Musk, Leavitt, RFK Jr. and Bondi before special tribunals or Nuremberg style hearings with life sentences for the top guys. they need to announce a comprhenesive demaga-ification plan. They need to reform SCOTUS day 1.
Hunter Biden: Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. What they do have implicates Trump. He introduced Melania to Donald. The connections are so wide and deep.
"Nazi fucking loser."
The boys are just straight up bad right now. So frustrating.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” - Arthur Schopenhauer
You think the people educated on this would realize a big ship turns slowly. Not decide it can't ever turn.
that fascists don't do Q&As, basically
The connect jerseys are beautiful jerseys, but they're terrible Mets jerseys. Wish they'd wear them less often and just for special occaisons.
Not to be a pedant, but it's actually quite important to note that it was decades to a century before the Victorian era.
that's like urging a serial killer to stop murdering
they should do it no matter what it's a cold civil war and this is one of the only legal options
I'm all for dem bashing, but I literally only could tolerate news and organizing info and all that around February. until then I just tuned it all out In a haze. were humans and we experienced a national trauma
any word on Mets/Kwan?
Charles Kushner. David Perdue. Photo Op with a war criminal.
it's astounding how bad the ESPN broadcast and call was on all the big plays
This has been the status quo for almost a decade and you're just realizing they are not good faith actors? Sharp as a tack, ol chucky boy
welp @governor.pa.gov is off the list of people I'd ever support in the primary!
The Trump regime and the Republican Party are neck-deep in what could be the biggest cover-up scandal in American history—one that ties Donald Trump directly to the world’s most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker.
One thig that this scandal has revealed is that, as we all already knew, the President is a rapist. #Epstein #Trump #WSJ
